Canadians confident going into National Bank Open
Bianca Andreescu returns against France's Alize Cornet during their women's singles first round match on the third day of the 2021 Wimbledon Championships at The All England Tennis Club in Wimbledon, southwest London.Bianca Andreescu doesn’t feel like the same person who hoisted a trophy in front of hometown fans nearly two years ago – or the same tennis player.
“It’s a whole other ball game. But on the court, I feel like I’m the same person because I am fearless, I feel confident,” Andreescu told reporters on a video call Saturday.She admitted, though, that her confidence has been “up and down” in recent months as she struggled with her mental health, dealt with injuries and a positive COVID-19 test, and parted ways with her long-time coach Sylvain Bruneau.“But now I have a new mindset, I’m feeling refreshed, I’ve been training really hard,” she said.
The tournament, formerly known as the Rogers Cup, was not held in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the young Canadians are looking forward to competing on home soil.
